Hollywood Hunter

., "Simon, thank you again for coming to visit the class during your busy schedule. I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dinner tonight?"

"It's a pity, Chen, I'm going to fly to Beijing in the afternoon, and the schedule is a little tight."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, next time, there will always be a chance in the future."

"Yeah, then, bye."

Suzhou, the Qin Palace at the foot of the Sun Mountain in the western suburbs.

Simon stopped for a short time in the crew of "Jing Ke Thorn King Qin", and after saying goodbye to Chen Da Dao, he took a group of entourage to the next stop.

It's Monday, October 13th.

Simon flew in from Hangzhou in the morning, and it is already afternoon. This time, he did not spend his life and dreaming in the boat on Taihu Lake like the last time, but kept on socializing with various schedules.

When the team started, Simon asked Chen Qing who was beside him: "When will this project be finished?"

Chen Qing looked up from a planning document of Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, thought about it, and said: "After the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Director Chen conducted a second financing some time ago, and the shooting cycle has also increased, and it will be postponed for at least one month. , until the end of December." Chen Qing said, knowing what the boss was concerned about, and added: "It will not affect "Heroes". Director Zhang's planned shooting cycle will end in January next year, and the scenes of the Qin Palace will be released. In the end, even if "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" is postponed again, the sets on both sides can be staggered."

Simon nodded, glanced at the information on Chen Qing's lap, and changed the subject: "The planning of Xiaoshan Airport is already very complete, you can pay more attention to the Suzhou-Hangzhou Expressway. My request for this project is that it must be pulled. Part of the state-owned assets will come in and will be packaged into a Sino-foreign joint venture in the future, and will try to go public in five years, and within 10 years, we will fully cash out."

Chen Qing was a little surprised: "Boss, the toll period for an operating expressway is 30 years. According to your optimism about the domestic economy, the longer the holding time, the better it should be for us. If we withdraw within 10 years, we will suffer a lot? "

Simon said: "It's just a loss. If you didn't join forces to figure out your own boss, I don't want to touch these projects, so the sooner you quit, the better. It's a blessing to suffer."

Even so, how could it possibly suffer?

Counting from now, 10 years later will be 2007. Not surprisingly, it is another peak of the global economy. China's economy will also reach a high point, including the stock market. Cashing out in the bull market, you can't even lose if you want to.

Chen Qing was a little embarrassed. She sent Xiaoshan Airport and Suzhou-Hangzhou Expressway to her boss through Soros. She did provide some reference suggestions. Because she thinks that mainly highways, according to her boss's expectations of China's economy, will definitely be very profitable.

If that's the case, why don't you make money?

Now that her boss has already said so, and thinking about the discussion about 'distance' two days ago, Chen Qing reflected a little and felt that it would be best to follow her boss's wishes in the future.

The two chatted, and the team soon arrived at the Jiangnan Fenghua project site, which is precisely the junction of Jiangnan Fenghua and Taohuawu.

Look at the two projects together.

Compared with the 1,000-mu-scale Qin Palace and the 1,500-mu Ming and Qing Palaces, Jiangnan Fenghua's final planning area is 3,000 mu, which is larger than the combined area of ​​the two palaces. This is a small town, and this does not include the future supporting facilities such as parking lots.

The areas of the Qin Palace and the Ming and Qing Palaces are considered matching.

The reason for this distinction is mainly for approval.

3,000 acres is an edge-to-edge limit.

In addition, Taohuawu, which is close to Jiangnan Fenghua, eventually reached 500 acres. Although various buildings have not broken ground, they have been planted with ornamental peach blossoms everywhere. They are not as serious and dense as the farmhouse Taoyuan. The terrain is arranged in a patchwork like a Chinese landscape painting.

A boulder with a height of about 20 feet and a width of about 2 feet has been placed on the edge of an artificial lake in Taohuawu. When Taohuawu is completely completed, the eight characters that Simon likes will be engraved in the future.

Due to the high standard of the reception, Mo Yiling, Zhu Momo's mother, who was mainly in charge of this area, could only follow the crowd and couldn't speak to a certain man during the whole process.

In fact, I don't really want to get in touch.

Mainly, thinking about her daughter, Mo Yiling was a little upset. Although the little sister has been hiding it from her, how could Mo Yiling not be aware of all kinds of clues?

It's just that she's been too busy with work this year, and she can't find time to deal with this matter, not to mention, she couldn't help her, and she couldn't really arrest her daughter and detain her by her side.

And, to be honest, even if he has a strong personality, Mo Yiling understands that this is never a world where you can do whatever you want. The current situation is that the entire Mo family has been successively transferred from Yunnan to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although the shackles are finally out of the shackles, and it is hoped that the sea will be wide open, it actually means that someone has become the Mo family unknowingly. The biggest backer.

So it is inevitable to cast a rat.

Mo Yiling has always been a very ambitious woman. When she thinks about it occasionally, even if she doesn't want to admit it, she knows that deep down in her heart, she must have made a decision to sacrifice her daughter in exchange for the future of the entire family.

The crowd inspected according to the established route, and finally came to a gentle slope that meets Taohuawu, where you can overlook the entire Jiangnan Fenghua scene. Further south, you can see the entire Taohuawu, which is considered a boundary.

I don't know how many times I've been here on weekdays, but now, it's probably

In a different mood, Mo Yiling looked at both sides and could still imagine two major projects in the future even though they were prototypes, but he was unavoidably smug, especially when he was called to the center of the crowd to give some explanations to someone and the leaders, he couldn't help but toss them away. mind back to the point.

He briefly introduced the various plans surrounding the entire Jinshu Film and Television City project. Now that he had the opportunity, Mo Yiling said to a young foreign man: "Mr. Westeros, now all projects have begun to take shape, But I found that the film and television projects promised by Jinshu did not seem to follow up fast enough?"

This was actually something that the surrounding leaders wanted to say but were too embarrassed to say. It happened to be said by Mo Yiling, a woman with an upright and strong character.

This woman can be described as a glorious year. Since she has taken up the burden, she must do what you should do.

Simon looked at the face of the woman in front of him who was somewhat similar to Zhu Momo, and asked with a smile, "what do you think is not enough?"

Mo Yiling pretended not to feel someone's scrutiny, and his tone was still formal, and said: "The "Dragon Babu" that Jin Shu cooperated with CCTV and Hong Kong TVB, I think it should be shot here, but according to my understanding, "" "Dragon Babu" is being selected nationwide, and Suzhou is not the core."

Simon explained patiently: "'Dragon Babu' is only in the preparatory stage, and this project is too big, not because I don't want to give it, but because Suzhou really can't eat it."

"In this case, it should be no problem to set up the project headquarters of "Dragon Babu" in Suzhou, right?"

After all, she is also a mother-in-law, and she is so 'aggressive', Simon is kind: "Okay," he said and looked at Chen Qing: "You explain it."

Chen Qing nodded with crooked eyebrows, as if she was happy to see her boss deflated.

Mo Yiling frowned slightly, feeling familiar. It was the first time she had a video call with someone and talked about her daughter. Now, it's the same, and it's the same feeling, so that Mo Wuling has no sense of accomplishment after a little struggle to win.

[Reading Benefits] Send you a cash red envelope! Follow vx public [Book Friends Base Camp] to get it!

However, since this is the case, she is even more rude: "In addition, I also hope that Jinshu should invest more in some costume film and television projects."

Simon nodded again: "Okay."

Mo Yiling simply broke the jar and smashed it: "Not counting "Dragon and Babu", I think there should be at least five projects next year, I mean, the costume projects filmed in Jinshu Film and Television City."

"no problem."

The government officials who were listening in were simply overjoyed.

It's just a "Tianlong Babu". It is said that it has already invested over 100 million yuan, plus five projects. After the constant indoctrination of Jinshu that film and television investment is another form of investment promotion, everyone understands that the future will be A real achievement.

In fact, people didn't have this expectation at all at first.

Now, except for the Qin Palace, which is still improving and has not been fully completed, the others are still in their infancy. Even if a young tycoon insists on delaying the development of film and television projects for another year, it is actually reasonable.

Now, including "Tian Long Ba Bu", the guarantee is six projects, and we will attract other crews to enter in the future. This area will soon prosper. At that time, some projects are always too expensive for Jinshu Film and Television City. Criticism can also be much smaller.

Realizing that Mo Yiling dared to speak in front of someone, and that a certain big man seemed to be very obedient, everyone at the scene regretted that Mo Yiling was initially excluded from the periphery, and then naturally let the other party accompany him closely throughout the whole process.

After seeing Jiangnan Fenghua and Taohuawu, I went to the Ming and Qing Palaces again, and the last stop was the Suzhou headquarters of Jinshu at the foot of Sun Mountain.

This time, I mainly check the preparation status of Jinshu special effects company.

As for Jinshu special effects, Suzhou originally thought it was just a small company affiliated to the Jinshu department. Unexpectedly, when the number of Jinshu special effects recruited more than 500 employees in the first half of the year, there was no intention to stop, so it was inevitable to ask. It was only known that the total recruitment scale of the Jinshu special effects plan will reach 2,000.

A high-tech enterprise with 2,000 employees.

If it can really develop, I don't know how much fame it will bring to Suzhou in the future. Of course, there will also be various taxes and other aspects.

So it was quickly listed as the focus of the city government's support.

Jinshu wants to build dormitory buildings for employees. No problem. The green light has been approved for 50 acres of land. The price is almost free. After all, the development of the technology industry is the mainstream in China. In addition, the large-scale rendering center planned to be built by the Taihu Lake is still green light for approval, although everyone does not quite understand what it will be used for.

Just do it.

Entering the FRP structure office building where Simon likes the special effects of Jinshu, he had a lively communication with the employees who had already exceeded 1,000. Finally, Mo Wuling came out to inquire about Simon's specific arrangements for the special effects of Jinshu.

If it is only the domestic film and television industry, a special effects company with a scale of 2,000 people cannot digest it at this stage.

Simon didn't hide it either.

Jinshu special effects, the main source of business in the future will be Hollywood. To put it bluntly, it is actually an OEM with a slightly higher level of technology.

Simon had been planning this for a long time.

Even if there is a lack of foundation in China, it will take about half a year to a year to train a college student who has just left the school to become a skilled cg special effect artist. However, the salary of a special effect artist here is not even that of the United States. The income of a special effects artist for one month is much lower than that of Australia.

Therefore, even if a rookie is recruited here for free for a year, as long as it can be trained, it is definitely worth the money.

What's more, the training cycle of 6 to 12 months is only relative to Hollywood movies.

If it is just the glowing special effects of various biu~biu~biu~ in China, many outstanding graduates can start picking up jobs in two or three months.

In addition, Daenerys special effects will directly cooperate with some colleges and universities for targeted training, starting from the time when students are still on campus, which can further shorten the training cycle.

The accurate words given by Simon on the spot made everyone at the scene refreshed again.

This is to earn foreign exchange!

In this way, he stayed at the Suzhou headquarters of Jinshu under the Sun Mountain until five o'clock. Simon set off to leave and flew to Beijing in the eyes of everyone who saw him off.

Inside the cabin of a Boeing 767.

Seeing the plane begin to glide on the runway through the porthole, Chen Qing checked the seat belt, and then looked at the man beside her: "Boss, Jinshu special effects, aren't you afraid that the disciples will starve the master to death?"

Simon was holding a pencil to write and draw on a notebook at will, without raising his head when he heard the words, he just smiled: "I'm a capitalist."

This answer is that some donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth.

However, Chen Qing just blinked and quickly realized that, indeed, given the domestic salary level, if all Hollywood special effects orders could be transferred to China, a blockbuster movie focusing on special effects would save thousands of dollars. It is not impossible to spend thousands of dollars.

From the standpoint of her own boss, this is of course the most beneficial for Daenerys Entertainment.

As for the unemployment of many special effects practitioners in the United States or Australia, as his boss said, he is a capitalist.

Feeling the vibration of the fuselage during the ascent, Chen Qing put her body slightly on the back of the chair, and asked again: "But, boss, even if this is the case, I mean, in case there will be a Chinese special effect movie in the future. If it develops and affects the share of Hollywood movies here, what can we do?"

Simon didn't pour cold water on the girl beside him, but said, "I'm already doing it now."

Chen Qing paused, understood again, and found that she had asked a stupid question again.

Yes, it would be better if it rises up and directly invests here, just like "Heroes". There are also Jinshu, Hairun, Huayi, Guangguang, Rongxinda, Huanzhu Film and Television and so on.

Well, the name of Huanzhu Film and Television is really inconsistent.

So report.

The name Balabala gave by Jingxi was so boring and so on.

Simon just smiled and listened.

Speaking of which, "Huanzhugege" was successfully completed last week, three weeks ahead of schedule. As a rookie, Simon can imagine how much effort Ren Jingxi has put into this, including the 6 million initially given by Simon. , even if the next later stage is included, it is initially determined that there are more than 26 episodes in the plan, and it is expected that it will only cost about 4.5 million, which saves 25% of the budget.

I have seen the samples in advance, and the quality is not bad at all in my memory.

In this case, Simon couldn't be more satisfied with a woman who had taken over at will.
